  • Indo-Russian Strategic Cooperation: Implications for the Deterrence Masood Ur Rehman Khattak Stability of South Asia
    Indo-Russian Strategic Cooperation: Implications for the Deterrence Masood Ur Rehman Khattak Stability of South Asia Masood Ur Rehman Khattak * Abstract The Indo-Russian strategic collaboration is unique. Both states have had strong diplomatic, economic, and strategic ties since the 1950s. Their defence trade includes enhancing India‟s armoured, naval, nuclear and air strike capabilities as well as counterterrorism and surveillance exchange. Close collaboration in the nuclear field is also vivid. This overwhelming strategic partnership has long-term implications for South Asia. The induction of force multipliers by India would create conventional disparity vis-à-vis Pakistan, which may lead to an arms race, endanger conventional deterrence and create room for a limited war in the region. This article investigates the Indo-Russian strategic partnership from evolution to apex and how it would tilt the balance of power in favour of India, putting nuclear deterrence at risk in South Asia. Key words: Deterrence, South Asia, Security Dilemma, India-Russia Defence Collaboration. * The author teaches International Relations at the Department of Politics and International Relations, International Islamic University in Islamabad, Pakistan. He is also pursuing his doctoral studies with a focus on „The Indian Military‟s Strategic Thinking since 2001 and its Implications on Deterrence Stability in South Asia.‟ ________________________________ @2018 by the Islamabad Policy Research Institute.

  • Profit-Function of Two Similar Warm Standby Navy Ship
    PROFIT-FUNCTION OF TWO SIMILAR WARM STANDBY NAVY SHIP SYSTEM SUBJECT TO FAILURE DUE TO AGEING SHIPS IN NEED OF MAINTENANCE, DELAYED ACQUISITIONS BY THE MINISTRY OF DEFENCE, AND HUMAN ERROR. DR. ASHOK KUMAR SAINI Assoc. Prof.(Maths), BLJS College, Tosham (Bhiwani) Haryana, India Abstract- In this paper we have taken failure due to ageing ships in need of maintenance, delayed acquisitions by the Ministry of Defence, and human error. When the main unit fails then warm standby system becomes operative. Failure due to human error cannot occur simultaneously in both the units and after failure the unit undergoes Type-I or Type-II or Type-III repair facility immediately. Applying the regenerative point technique with renewal process theory the various reliability parameters MTSF, Availability, Busy period, Benefit-Function analysis have been evaluated.
